@seachanger I'm not sure I follow what you mean.

@AnthonyJK @strypey I also see the contradiction in that outlook, but I'm still mulling it over. For example I don't tolerate conservative people in my day to day life. Or on the internets.

(another thing I think of is like when Bernie went on Fox news. Which i respected a lot.)

@AnthonyJK @strypey I read that differently than you did.

This made me think of how I've read in Jane McAlevy's books that in union solidarity you have to focus on the fight and your allies in *that* fight.

Which means in union issues specifically you can't "turn away" people based on political view. You can't get to 90% or whatever majority you need by excluding people.

@rat @screwtape that's not TDD?
You update your tests first to fail, and then write your different code after to pass.

I'm not a fan of TDD except for opt-in voluntary use of it for things like business logic in code. Or when you are writing code with very precise requirements spelled out ahead of time.

I think the cult of TDD is a cult. But the practice of it can be useful as a tool.

@RL_Dane One of the biggest things I've learned in tech is to not chase the next big thing.

@lxo Just becaue you're on ActivityPub for one means you are speaking to the choir.
I don't think anybody has a good feeling for the future at this point.
